This invention relates to the field of rehabilitation training equipment technology, and discloses a fine motor skill assessment glove based on a miniature nine-axis sensor, comprising a flexible glove substrate, a sensor network, and a signal acquisition and transmission module. The sensor network consists of multiple flexible printed circuit board branches with multiple miniature nine-axis sensors and flexible pressure sensors arranged in a row. The signal acquisition and transmission module integrates a microcontroller unit and a communication unit. The communication pins of multiple miniature nine-axis sensors are connected in parallel to a common I2C bus interface, and the power supply pins are connected to general-purpose input / output pins. This invention provides independent power to the sensors by changing the voltage level of the microcontroller unit in a time-division multiplexing manner, avoiding bus voltage level conflicts; it uses absolute time alignment timestamps to eliminate asynchronous time-domain deviations in time-division multiplexing power supply polling; and it converts the raw data of three-dimensional acceleration and three-dimensional angular velocity into a fixed-point number format, combining table lookup and shift processing to generate fixed-point attitude angle results, reducing the internal computing resource consumption of the microcontroller unit.

This disclosure relates generally to a method and system for enhancing fine-motor skills based on adaptive thresholding. The disclosure relates to an assistive system to improve the fine motor skills of specially abled children through a gamified format. The conventional methods are repetitive and disengaging, which use rule-based threshold changes which do not help in developing fine-motor skills. The disclosed system uses rotational and translational movements detected via accelerometer and gyroscope sensors comprised in a wearable device and applies adaptive thresholding to perform various actions in a first-person controller (FPC) game environment. The disclosed method uses dynamic thresholding concept for adjusting maximum and minimum sensor readings. The method computes threshold values which are computed based on previous readings and predicted user improvement values from a regression model. The disclosed method is used for improving the fine-motor skills of specially abled children who struggle with daily activities and personal independence.

This utility model discloses a double-compartment food preservation bottle, including a bottle body and a sealed cap connected thereto. The sealed cap has a storage chamber inside, and an elastic part is connected to the upper end of the storage chamber. The elastic part is usually made of an elastic material, such as rubber. The side of the elastic part near the inside of the storage chamber has a structure for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port. By applying external force to the elastic part, the discharge from the storage chamber can be controlled. A protective cap is connected to the top of the sealed cap to prevent the discharge port from being accidentally opened due to external factors. This utility model simplifies the operation of dispensing seasonings and other ingredients by setting a storage chamber inside the sealed cap and using the elastic part and different structures to achieve convenient control of the discharge from the storage chamber. Unlike the traditional method, there is no need to manually tear open the storage shell to dispense the ingredients, reducing the difficulty of operation. It is especially user-friendly for people with less hand strength or less fine motor skills, such as women and children, making it easier for them to dispense ingredients.

The Modular Pathways for Gait Therapy, I of the present disclosure, is a system comprising multiple interlocking platform segments. Each platform segment features its own distinctly textured surface, equipped with a hook on top and an interlocking dovetailed eyelet on the bottom. Thus, each platform segment can be easily and securely connected to another. One can rearrange any pathway, of varying lengths, as needed for the post-injury or post-surgery physiotherapy client. Additionally, the relatively compact & lightweight platform segments can be hung on the wall or elsewhere when not in use, ensuring convenient storage & quick setup. The system is designed to enhance diverse sensory feedback during gait therapy, aiding in finer tuning of the client's proprioception, gross & fine locomotor skills, & gait stability during the rehabilitation process.

The application discloses a fine operation ability evaluation device, and belongs to the field of cognitive ability evaluation. A first driver is in transmission connection with a joystick and applies a load in a first direction to the joystick. A first torque sensor monitors the load size in the first direction to display the operation force size of an evaluated person in the first direction. The first driver records the position information of the joystick in the first direction. A second driver is in transmission connection with the joystick to apply a load in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to the joystick. A second torque sensor monitors the load size in the second direction to display the operation force size of the evaluated person in the second direction. The second driver records the position information of the joystick in the second direction. A controller analyzes the fine operation ability of the evaluated person according to the operation force and the position information in the first direction and the second direction, and the evaluation result is more accurate. The application also relates to a fine operation ability evaluation method using the fine operation ability evaluation device.
